"Those lucky ducks at Three Lobed Recordings are living the dream. Everyone knows that being a record company is the single coolest thing anyone can do, and now they’ve taken that to a new level by assembling a box set of collaborative albums that seems to be more of a hypothetical wishlist come true.
The Parallelogram 5LP collection takes five musical pairings and lets each one put together a full-length slab of vinyl. And the pairings that Three Lobed has managed to pull off are the cream of the guitar/drone/folk intersection for which the label is known: we’re talking Six Organs of Admittance backed by William Tyler, Philadelphia buddies Steve Gunn and Kurt Vile going head to head, and various iterations of demi-gods such as Thurston Moore, Bill Orcutt, Chris Corsano, and Yo La Tengo doing their thing. Yowzers!" (Tiny Mix Tapes)
Parallelogram:
- Hiss Golden Messenger / Michael Chapman
- Six Organs of Admittance / William Tyler
- Kurt Vile / Steve Gunn
- Thurston Moore & John Moloney: Caught on Tape / Bishop – Orcutt - Corsano
- Bardo Pond / Yo La Tengo
